Pictures of Afghanistan taken on a private trip from Germany to Afghanistan in 1970, performed with a VW Beetle that is occasionally seen on the slides. These photos show and document the country before it had been occupied by the Soviet Union in December 1979, and long before the country was destroyed by the Taliban and then by the interference of foreign powers and plunged into chaos. 

The traveler and "photographer" W.B. (1934-2012) wishes to remain anonymous.
